A review by mattcheu
The Black Monday Murders, Volume 1 by Jonathan Hickman

4.0

Over time I can see this series having an enthralling story with character you latch to and others you wish the worst for. The issue I found was that this first volume takes 90 percent of the time setting the stage and introducing the cast of characters, but not enough time giving you a strong story arc and a purpose to the characters. So by the end my interest was peaked but I don’t have enough to desire to push forward. The presentation was great and the art was dark and sinister matching the story’s tone perfectly. If I was given more story to sink my teeth into I think I would feel compelled to push forward immediate. For now I will shelve the second volume and possibly come back to it on a rainy day.
